Another newcomer to the Swedish ranks in 2014, Carnal Agony bring forth an interesting tableau mixing some fast and aggressive thrash with a very solid and epic feeling power metal with some rather intense and deep ranged vocals. In fact the vocals are so deep it will probably throw you off at first, but it does quickly grow on you and works well with the style of music they play. Despite the vocal tones, David Johagen is able to sing with some solid melody. In fact his voice seems to work better on the more power-tinged tracks such as The Frozen Throne over the thrashier War Prayer type songs. The subject matter is nothing new or original focusing on the fantasy, social and horror aspects which have been part and parcel to the metal spectrum. The band definitely shows a lot of promise considering they have only been around for three years. They are loud, energetic, aggressive and show a maturity beyond their years. As good as this CD is and it’s pretty darn good, I have a feeling that we haven’t seen their best yet,and that is pretty scary!Choice Tracks – Rebellion, The Frozen Throne, Night Of The Werewolf, Carnal Agony, War Prayer(8)
